Hi
utf8 "\xF0" does not map to Unicode at xxx.pl line 10.
utf8 "\x80" does not map to Unicode at xxx.pl line 10.
utf8 "\x80" does not map to Unicode at xxx.pl line 10.
utf8 "\x80" does not map to Unicode at xxx.pl line 10.
$VAR1 = 'foo\\xF0\\x80\\x80\\x80bar
';
Was this an intentional change?
When using ':encoding(utf8)' all data after a bad byte is simply lost.
This seems like a serious perl-5.8.6 recession to me.
